"Southeast Asian marinated and skewered meat with a spicy, mildly sweet peanut sauce. One of America's favorite dishes at Thai restaurants, though originally Indonisian rather than Thai. May be prepared with chicken, pork, beef sirloin or top round, or lamb shoulder. This recipe serves 6 for dinner or 18 as an appetizer."

This was so easy to make and was so popular! I followed the directions except I had to use canola oil in place of sesame. In the future I will use sesame, but I don't think it made much of a difference. Everyone loved these! I will make again soon. Thank you for posting this!

Wonderful! Chicken was moist and flavorful throughout and the peanut sauce is excellent. Goes together in a flash the night before, then ready in less than 15 minutes at serving time. Nice enough to serve to guests. We ate these for dinner but would be wonderful as an appetizer. Thanks, littleturtle, for a great recipe!
